Brewster High School graduates Jessica and Stephanie Rubino are heading to Germany on Sunday to run the Berlin Marathon to fundraise for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation.

Multiple Myeloma is a fatal blood cancer that their mother, Trish, was diagnosed with in 2007. The Rubinos have been fundraising in hopes of aiding the research for life-extending drugs and eventually a cure for this cancer.
